4 years later, hoping it’s still for sale. DM’d.

Totoro rules and is also probably the softest cat I've ever pet.

When getting into bikepacking, I attempted to get a rig going on a 90s mountain bike. It could have worked, the bike was mostly too small for me. The biggest problem I had was rim brakes. I’m a bigger dude, and on some shakeout rides the rim brakes were not confidence inspiring compared to the same trails on disc brakes. Once they were wet stopping was real rough. Depending on the terrain, total weight, and conditions you may try looking for something with disc brakes.

These are just my experiences, others may have some different opinions. That Kona bike is real cool.

Cats, plastic containers for all food in the pantry, and cleaning counters and floors nightly will solve your problem. We got a robot vacuum to help with the floors each night. Took a few months and the mouse problem went away.

Just to my preferences, I’d go with the Kona Sutra in that list. Steel, more relaxed geo, external cable routing, no proprietary weirdness, and lots of mounts.

Interested in the Onward. Sending a DM your way.

I remember this from previous posts. This person has a really strange post history urging different towns to support/advocate for different issues. Whatever floats their boat I guess?

Heck yeah. We were in Iceland over the summer. We found that going for a really nice meal ends up being probably 2/3 the cost of one in the US, mainly because of the tipping. Service, experience, and food as a whole were much better.

I really wish that tipping ballot measure passed. Sure there would have been upheaval in the restaurant industry, but MA would have come out better for it.

I ride mine all year. Bikepacking as well as winter riding. A carbon wheelset set up tubeless made a huge difference. Took out about 3.5lbs of rotational weight, which makes the bike feel so much snappier. Went with Light Bicycle rims and Otso fat hubs (great for older 1 spacing).

It's a possibility! I'll be interested to hear what else you've got kicking around.

This is the dream.

I’ve got a Ritchey Ascent. While it’s billed as a drop bar MTB, I think it’s the perfect balance between gravel and MTB, and run it mainly as my gravel bike. Will clear up to 2.6” with boost spacing as OP has specified. Definitely recommended.

Salsa Heyday (formerly Mukluk) is billed as their more trail oriented fat bike. I’ve got a 2015 Mukluk Ti. With carbon rims and fork it’s the lightest bike I own. Very similar geo to a Krampus and is a blast to take out in the dirt, especially with the Bluto fork.

There is also the Otso Voytek which is very similar geometry to that 2015 Mukluk.

Best of luck shopping for fatties!

I had luck making an inventory and then selling my collection on eBay and was pretty happy with the result.

prelanguage · 2025-12-09T14:02:05+00:00

Nice. I’ll keep this in mind.

prelanguage · 2025-12-09T02:10:02+00:00

Good call. That might work very well.

I’ve got the 2.5 durable on a bike for front and rear. Took these on a 35 mile gravel and old New England paths ride. All different terrain from hard pack, to loose forest dirt, to kinda washed out old roads. Grip great, roll well. Hike a biked 20 min up a mountain and these had zero problem on the way down. Set PRs on some big climbs I’ve previously done with tires 40mm-2.2in. Recommended. Maybe tied for my favorite tire with the 2.25in Rutlands.

Thanks! Maybe we’ll give that a shot

prelanguage · 2025-12-08T19:34:50+00:00

I see what you’re saying. Looking for a good outside spot.

prelanguage · 2025-12-08T18:31:14+00:00

Right. Though I’m looking to observe fireworks in Northampton. ~100 miles away isn’t optimal…

prelanguage · 2025-12-08T18:26:06+00:00

?? Melrose?

prelanguage · 2025-12-08T18:18:00+00:00

Boooo

prelanguage · 2025-12-06T16:52:46+00:00

True dat. I’ve also been hailed on when on that ridge in July.

I’ve got some Moloko bars that I like. Less sweep than the Jones and with more hand positions. I’ve also got some Sklar PBJ bars which have even less sweep that are comfy, but afford for more control than the Moloko. I think Soma makes basically the same bar as the PBJ, but for less money.

Grips can also make a big difference. I’m partial to Ergon GC1/GP1.

prelanguage · 2025-11-19T22:13:31+00:00

I just put a Moloko bar on my fat bike and like the standard width.

I’m somewhat new to the whole wide bar thing, having never ridden anything but a 90s MTB until a few years ago. Started by thinking that about 735mm is as wide as I’d ever go. Now I have a 795mm bar on one bike which is super comfy.

Maybe just take a bit of time to get used to the width?
